Sweet whey

Sweet whey powder

Sweet whey is a product derived from the manufacturing of pressed cheese or of rennet caseins

Many purposes exist for whey either in human food or in animal feeding. Nonetheless, its 94% of water content, its high salinity level and its capacity to alter easily make it hard to promote its liquid form.

On the contrary its dehydrated form offers many possibilities. Nowadays, thanks to technical progresses, one can distinguish between whey according to liquid acidity: above or below 1,8g of lactic acid for one litre.

A specific whey may be associated to a specific cheese and to a specific manufacturing step.
